Wiko Robby: Specifications Review and price In Kenya

-Advertisement-

Wiko as a trademark is known for sporting different, very beautiful colour variants on their devices. The Wiko Robby, their most recent device is no different. The French phone manufacturer unveiled this phablet earlier this year, and it is no doubt a good creation.  The device is clean, thanks to its metallic finish and large, since most people like it that way; it’s pretty inconvenient for one to hold. However, the device is as basic as it can get vis-à-vis the standards of a smartphone in this day and age. Price in Kenya is ksh.10, 499. Here’s the full review.

Build and design

With a height of 10 millimetres, the device is not exactly slim. It has a solid feel and rather heavier than high-end phablets with a weight of 185 grams. The smartphone squeaks and cracks when it is twisted revealing the pressure on the otherwise impression of a decent build. The back cover is metal whereas the bezel is made of plastic. The casing is available in various colours making Wiko's Robby a very colourful device.

Screen and display

The device comes with a 5.5” IPS LCD screen allows the user to view its content pretty clearly and larger in size. The phone screen brightness can adjust and adapt to current environment pretty quick, can be quite inaccurate sometimes, but this is one of the most impressive things about this phone. The phone inability to play HD videos can be seen as a downer to people who love watching media from a smartphone.

Performance

Put in comparison with more costly devices in the Kenyan market, the performance deficiency in Wiko’s Robby is apparent in some of the most routine smartphone tasks. The smartphone runs on a four-core MediaTek MT6580M chipset clocked at 1.3 GHz.

Camera

The device comes with a 5-megapixels front camera with LED flash and on the rear, the device sports an 8-megapixel camera alongside autofocus and LED flash.  The photo quality is not very satisfactory when compared with higher-quality lenses, but it is a good average in its price range.

Summary

Wiko’s Robby is a pretty convenient device and quite affordable. It is an excellent option for people looking for a mid-range phablet. The price in Kenya is ksh.10, 499 and you can get it on Jumia Kenya.
